The completness of music is a another dimension. It also has destructive effects, but I think the healing power of it is more casual. So music is a really valuable thing, which can help you a lot. Are you depressed ? Music will surely help, of course it a shown way but you have to walk on it ,so you have the chance to choose the right harmony from this dimension and you are done.

I think so! Just make sure they're up beat or uplifting songs. No downers and emo songs. That's going to get a depressed person even more depressed.

The right kind of music can relax me, so I suppose you could say it helps get me out of a depression. But I'm very seldom depressed, anyway.

Yes, music definitely helps to soothe me when I feel down or hurt or angry. It has amazing healing power. I have found it also helps when you are actually sick.

In my case , it really depends on how i feel. If i'm depressed , it doesn't usually do a lot.. I usually end up listening to songs that describe the way i feel , which sometimes gets me even more depressed. But on some other occasions , when i'm angry for example , i listen to metal and let everything out! As for encouraging songs, I don't really know many of these. But then again, it depends on what kind of music you like to listen to. But yeah , music is very important in my life. Whether it is some old , classic Metallica songs or some of Incubus brilliant sounds for example, it always means something to me and has a tremendous value to the way i end up feeling!

I can't live without music. It is as important for me as food. But the kind of music I listen to depends completely on my mood. And I believe listening to classical music is the best if you have to relax your body. Jazz, pop, rap,etc. suits the party like environment. Classical music is soft and soothing and helps regains the mental level after a hectic schedule.

In my experience music helps me a lot regarding my depression. To change my bad mood a listen to music to make me feel happy. Everytime I'm listening to the music I forgot my problem and health issues. So music is a big help in my life to continue to exist in this world.

I have to agree music is great for helping you cope with any emotion, especially depression. Without music I'd find myself very bored a lot of the time.
